Act Of Discipleship

Wednesday of week 31 in Ordinary Time 

Philippians 2:12-18
Psalm 26(27):1,4,13-14
Luke 14:25-33

In today’s gospel , we observe Jesus conveying lessons through parables, clearly articulating the essence of discipleship. Each individual is called to embrace discipleship in Christ; however, this commitment necessitates specific obligations on our part.

It requires prioritizing Christ above all other aspects of life, including familial relationships. The journey of becoming a disciple is not without its challenges; therefore, one must consider this calling with due diligence. Ultimately, should one choose to respond to this invitation, the ensuing rewards will be significant.

If Jesus were to pose the question today of leaving all behind to follow Him, what would prove most challenging to relinquish? May divine grace cleanse our hearts, ensuring that our attachments do not hinder our pursuit of Him. Amen.
